Back on track!

BIKE 72 mins and 19 miles, 2x15mins in 19.2mph each
RUN 43 mins and 5.3 miles, 400, 800, 1200, 1600 (400 rest)
COMMUTE 6 miles

This indoor biking thing is getting BORING. So not much to say there except it's done and I'm already planning how I can do these outside.

For the run I went to the track, no plan until I got there. I decided on a pyramid of 400, 800, 1200, 1600 with a 400 jog between each. My hip pain from Sunday and Monday is gone apparently, another pain come and gone?

Spinning up speed in the intervals didn't feel smooth or easy, I kept wanting to dial it back but that feeling was never too strong. In the 1200 I told myself that if I can't push it here, then how will I push it in a race? With that I decided to time the 1600. Unfortunately I was running in the 4th lane so it's probably not an accurate mile, but my time according to the Garmin was 6:58. An online calculator says the 4th lane is 423m long, and I checked the garmin soon after the 3.5  mark of the track and was surprise to see it at 1 mile! I was at the top of the last turn...so was it a mile? Calculations have it around 1500m...so maybe not. Either way, it felt really good to get a speedy session in! Just wish it didn't feel so sluggish.
